"Absolutely stunning location in a cabin overlooking the sea. We saw endless amounts of red macaws and other wildlife during our stay. The staff were professional, friendly but not obtrusive. This is a small family- run establishment where we felt customer satisfaction was important. The restaurant meals were excellent and innovative, the smallness of the restaurant resulted in it often feeling more like a private dining experience. The chef also made an incredible birthday cake for my husband’s birthday which was an unexpected but lovely surprise! Our only suggestion for improvement would be to offer more choice at both breakfast and dinner. Overall our stay here was the most memorable of all, over a five week trip to Costa Rica, we hope to return one day! "

"I enjoyed the pool and quiet living. The staff was wonderful, specially Francisco who worked tirelessly to make our stay enjoyable. "

"Mila was exceptional & always greeted us with a warm friendly smile. She helped accommodate us as a family member was sick. Mila also went out of her way to help me celebrate my birthday We stayed at the very top of the property which was amazing but not for those who are elderly or struggle with a step climb. "

"Very fun stay at Cotingas, despite the tours we had booked being cancelled because of excessive rain. Needless to say, that was no fault of the hotel but it did mean we spent more time there and realized what a great place it was. Excellent location right next to the town but still quiet; lots of animal sightings, a great view--albeit mostly of rain on this occasion--and very good service from the excellent staff. We want to go back to Drake Bay and do what we could not this time--and when we do we will certainly stay here again."

"The people her are so nice and accommodating. Would stay again if just for the hospitality!"

"Close to restaurants and has a good pool area. The wildlife just outside the window in the morning made this a memorable stay for sure! "

"No words can describe the beauty and peacefulness of this property. The grounds are spectacular and our room was gorgeous overlooking the ocean and sunsets. Upon our arrival we were greeted with refreshing beverages and brought to our room where we saw Toucans and Parrots . In our two day visit we saw monkeys and frogs and lots of butterflies! It was so hard to leave. The entire staff was so kind and friendly and helpful. It was the highlight of our 10day Costa Rican vacation. We will definitely return again. . "

"We loved, loved, loved this place. The room was fantastic and having an open air bathroom was such an unusual treat. We got to see monkeys from our porch as well as many other creatures on the night tour. The food was also fantastic. If we lived closer we would certainly visit again. "

"This is a beautiful place. We enjoyed our stay. House is amazing!"
